Hi:
Many thanks for all the responses to my previous thread, ... 'Listening
Songs/music.'

Now, I have one more question to ask, ....

I love to listen to older songs, mostly 70', 80's and even more older ones.
However, I have NO clue to download, much less which site I should visit
to accomplish my task, ... download and listen.

I would be truly appreciated it if any of you on this board would direct me
which site, how to dowload and all other necessary steps for successful, and
FIRST of all, safe to download songs I love to listen.

Thanks,

you need 2 things

www.java.com get the java if you dont have it

and

frostwire

http://www.frostwire.com/

Be careful to download only mp3 files since zip and video and stuff may
contain viruses

You can create your own commercial free stations for the music you like and
it's free. http://www.pandora.com/ or www.slacker.com/
You don't need to download anything. Personally I prefer Pandora.

Ubuntu has a really nice program called StreamTuner with works with
StreamRipper which can be used to record songs off Internet radio and it
converts them into MP3s and has a lot more channels than Shoutcast,
although it has Shoutcast too. The USA is one of the few countries in
the world that prohibit this practice. In Spain, it's completely legal
for personal use.

Hopefully, Obama will restore the civil rights that were stripped away
by the Bush/Cheney nightmare.

RadioTracker is a similarly useful program for the Windows Platform ...

Radiotracker

Trial version available via the site.

I know, there is streamripper for windows also...

I think we agree on our views about obama :-)

Streamripper is free. Judging from the instructions on the Streamripper
download page for Windows, it's far easier to install in Ubuntu, just a
couple of clicks, and the interface for Ubuntu is much nicer.

I am not in music that much, especially pop but I checked the site out of
curiosity. It played a song by Lily Allen at my request. It is a neat setup,
very unusual.

My question is technical. There was no file to download. I presume the song
was played by the default music player: Windows Media Player. It plays files
with various extensions like wav, wma, etc.

Did it just play a similar file located physically on the server?

BTW, I found the quality of sound much to be desired, don't know why. Is it
a limitation of the method or what?

Oh please, it's always a laugh to hear from someone outside the US with
their oh so important blabber. Go ahead and list those "civil rights"
that were stripped away. And then tell us how obama is going to change
all that, like any president has been able to do before, considering the
opposition they are always up against.

It's so easy to criticize from the outside looking in.

It's called 'streaming', Alex.

And it's not an API, by the way.

Let's see, how about the fact that if you're considered to be a
terrorist you are

1. not llowed legal counsel

2. not charged

3. held in custody indefinitely

I think the American public is fed up with Bush's policies and repealing
the Unpatriot act would be a good start.

I was born in the USA, vote and am a US citizen. How inside can you get?

Alias

I use streaming of stock quotes in my applications which come from
quotetracker API, BTW, Synaptic Syndrome.

So Pandora comes thru Streaming Audio Renderer.

The Windows Media Player is an API or rather can be used as such. I play my
own recorded messages (my own voice recorded with
SoundRecorder.exe/sndRec32.exe) via Windows Media Player. The WMP never
shows up on my desktop. I make calls from inside my code with a parameter
that prohibits it from appearance. It is a very commend technique. For me
WMP is an API. It is not an API for you or anyone else who use is as a stand
alone application. I use voice as punctuation points and as alerts that
certain processes went thru OK or there were problems.

The Streaming Audio renderer is a part of WMP. Thus, Synaptic Syndrome, I am
sorry, it is an API for me.

Got it?

An API is any stand alone application with or without user interface that
allows an application programmer to tap some kernel functions. Such APIs are
typically encompass a clearly defined role, like rendering voice recording
or... I cannot come up with a better example now. The are sometimes called
wrappers, etc.

You definitely have a lot to learn but I don't think you should attempt.
